In other violence, a Palestinian Arab man was arrested at the entrance of the Jerusalem-area suburb of Ma’aleh Adumim on Friday afternoon after police found him to be in possession of a large knife.

Arab laborers often congregate at the entrance to Ma’aleh Adumim hoping for temporary jobs or a ride into town. But police noticed that the suspect was behaving oddly and began to question him, which lead to the discovery of his weapon.

The man later confessed that he planned to carry out a stabbing attack against local Jewish residents.

On Saturday night, terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip fired another missile at the southern Israel coastal city of Ashkelon. Israeli warplanes responded on Sunday morning by targeting four Hamas positions in northern Gaza.
